Chapter 40 : Patron, Please Keep Me 20 (2/2)
……
Su Yixiu was currently speaking to the young lady at the counter but upon seeing Shi Sheng, he immediately abandoned her and ran to Shi Sheng.
“Xiaowan’er[3], Xiaowan’er, are you here to look for Lu Qingyun? Do you want me to go and call him for you?”
Shi Sheng was already immune to Su Yixiu’s way of addressing her. Ever since the last time when Lu Qingyun agreed to her ‘request’, Su Yixiu had stopped calling her Ms Jiang.
“I came to eat.” Shi Sheng rolled her eyes speechlessly. “President Su, may I ask, why are you so idle?”
‘He’s been here for how long again? Does he not want his company anymore???’
“Who else can it be for other than that Lu Qingyun?!” Su Yixiu nearly jumped from anger. “You don’t know how terrible the last few days have been for me. Xiaowan’er ah, you have to help me out. I feel like I’ve received a serious threat to my life and dignity *continues rambling*…”
The four-man team watched as this grown man enacted his own play as he changed faces.
‘Is this really a man? Why do we feel like he’s been possessed by Liqiu-jie?’
“Ya[4]! Little Meatball!” And speaking of the devil, Fang Liqiu came into the hotel from outside. Seeing Shi Sheng, it was as if she had seen a treasure as green light flashed from her eyes and she pounced towards Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng dodged to the side. Unable to stop herself in time, Fang Liqiu crashed into Su Yixiu.
“Who’s so shameless as to leap into this young master’s arms?” Su Yixiu quickly pushed Fang Liqiu away.
“Shameless? You’re the shameless…” Her voice suddenly cut off as Fang Liqiu examined the man doubtfully. A few seconds later, a dark, cold smile appeared on her face. “Su Yixiu, I finally found you[5]!”
“Fang… Liqiu?” Su Yixiu’s tone trembled a bit.
“You called me shameless just now, eh?”
Overbearing CEO Fang Liqiu has just logged on[6].
Her tiny hand gripped onto Su Yixiu’s lapel as she tugged him towards her. “Look and me and tell me, did you or did you not, call me shameless just now?”
“No…” Su Yixiu spoke weakly.
“Then I heard wrongly? You mean to say that my hearing has problems?”
Su Yixiu “…” ‘I didn’t say anything though! Lu Qingyun, hurry up and save me!!!’
[1] A term for conjoined twins, people who are physically joined together at birth. I left it as this because if I put conjoined twins, it would sound too literal.
[2] For those who don’t experience the four seasons (like me), from all the books I’ve read, I’ve gathered that winter is around November to February, spring is around March to June and July falls in the summer season. It might change depending on where you are but this is like the rough outline I guess.
[3] This is yet another nickname for Jiang Wan, ‘小晚儿’. I decided to add a single apostrophe in front of the ‘er’ because otherwise people might start pronouncing it as wane-r.
[4] Sound of surprise.
[5] This was actually an idiom but I felt leaving it would make her sound rambly. It’s ‘踏破铁鞋无觅处得来全不费工夫’, meaning that one was unable to find what one was looking for despite wearing out even iron soles yet managing to obtain whatever it is completely without effort.
[6] I took a liberty here. But this will actually appear for real in the raws later. Only for someone else.
